I have given a lot of magic cards away in my time. I have given some to cousins, to friends, kids at the local game store who are just getting started, but this most recent story is my favorite.
There is a woman at the game store who just learned to play magic a few months ago and only plays modern. She is stoked on the game and is getting good. A couple weeks ago I went to the LGS to play modern, but it turned out it was Born of the Gods game day. She only had a modern deck, but wanted to play magic. She bought an event deck and as she was sleeving it up I walked over and asked if she wanted to borrow anything from my binder to spice up the event deck. She ended up selecting a couple of Fabled Heroes and Angelic Skirmishers.
After the tournament she walked over to return the cards.
"Thanks" she said "Your cards definitely won me a couple of games. I had a lot of fun today. I really appreciate it. Here are your cards back."
"You know what?" I said "I want you to keep those. Standard is a fun format, especially if you have a good deck. You should come play Standard next week too."
"Awesome" she said "I might just do that."
